Unlock your next decarbonisation move by engaging your supply chain with Energise and Sustemic
The Scope 3 Challenge
Scope 3 emissions are often the largest portion of a total footprint. The average Scope 3 share of carbon footprints produced by Energise is 94%.
You’ve measured your emissions, set targets and know how to reduce tangible Scope 1 & 2 emissions, but what’s next?
Engaging with your supply chain to decarbonise purchased goods & services and capital goods is your next step to net zero.
